    I just purchased two gifina dolls from tiffany at gifina.com. The dolls that she has are beautiful.
    She is extremely helpful and wonderful to work with. I suggest you go to her website, get her email address or phone number and contact her if you want to purchase original fine quality gifina dolls.

    I actually collect them as well. My husband is dominican and for the last 6 years, everytime I go there, I buy two new ones. I have been there 9 times.
    I love these.

    I would like to buy some of these dominican faceless dolls. From what I have heard, the story is that the dominicans are so diverse; blacks, whites and indians that this is were the idea of a faceless woman 'doll' came from. I am very interested in buying a few here in the states. Please let me know!

    I just spent a week in the dominican and purchased some faceless dolls. The story I heard was the original dominican people were all killed and because there are no true dominican people they have dolls with no faces because no one knows what a true dominican looks like.
    where can i find the story??????

    I make dolls in porcelanicron, that's the new version of the faceless doll from Dominican Republic. This dolls have beautiful painted faces in porcelain and their dresses and details are done in "porcelanicaron" or cold porcelain. I live in Miami and I make Victorian Collection, or any kind of dolls.

    I found a place that sells them, www.gifina.net. I picked up a few, they are very beautiful dolls.

    I believe the story is that since there are so many mixed races in the Dominican Republic, these dolls were made without faces so not to single out any one of the many mixed races.
